摘要：In this paper, we developed a psychological model of digital competence including fourcomponents (knowledge, skills, motivation and responsibility) and four spheres (workwith online content, communication, technical activity and consumption). The DigitalCompetence Index (DCI) is a 52-item instrument assessing an index and an entire profileof digital competence. In the Russian population study (1203 adolescents 12-17 years oldand 1209 parents), acceptable reliability (.72-.90 for all of the scales, except motivation)of DCI was demonstrated. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the superiority of thefour-component structure with the second-order index. Mean DCI was 34% of the maximallypossible level in adolescents and 31% in parents, indicating the necessity for theeducational programs in Russia. The motivation component was both the lowest and theleast homogeneous factor, indicating that important special efforts to improve motivationto learn in Russian adolescents are needed.
